Herbs have a variety of uses including culinary, medicinal, or in
some cases even spiritual usage. General usage differs between
culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. In medicinal or spiritual use
any of the parts of the plant might be considered "herbs", including
leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, resin, root bark, inner bark
(cambium), berries and sometimes the pericarp or other portions of
the plant.
The English word "herb" which means to eat. It also
originates from the Latin word "herba," meaning grass or fodder.
An herb is " a seed producing annual, biennial, or perennial that
does not develop persistent woody tissue," in other words, a plant
without bark. This definition applies to all herbs because although
some herbs have somewhat woody stems, none have actual bark.
